SHORTPOD (29): THE END OF AUSTERITY (UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT ELECTION)

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell discusses the US midterms, before turning his attention to UK Chancellor Philip Hammond's latest Budget. Hyped as the "End of Austerity" Budget, Liddell argues that the package of tax cuts and increased government spending is economically moronic but politically astute, and is influenced by the tragic fate of John Major's government in the 1990s which unwittingly fattened the calf for its Labour opponents.
